What is a Yamantaka Jangwa Puja?

The Yamantaka Peaceful Fire Puja is excellent for clearing obstacles – including obstacles to our Dharma practice as well as to success in business, family, health & happiness. Geshe Wangchen will lead the puja. Families welcome. Everyone welcome to attend and participate or observe. This puja is by donation.

How to Register

There are two ways to register, sponsor the puja and include your dedications. This puja is a powerful opportunity to sponsor dedications for family, friends and others in need. Abundant offerings are made during the Fire Puja and so there are great opportunities for sponsorship. Any amount is welcome.

1) Sponsor through our online registration form (preferred method)

This includes four donation methods: internet banking (manual), internet banking (facilitated by POLi), PayPal or cash in person in advance or arriving early on the day of the Fire Puja. Registering in advance is appreciated and will assist us in preparing your dedications and offerings. The last day for online registrations will be posted closer to the time.

Another option is to:

2) Arrive early on the day of the Fire Puja

On the day of the Fire Puja the Registration Table will open at 9am. Donations are welcome in the form of cash/cheque. We can also add last-minute dedications at this time.

Morning Tea After Puja (TBC)

After the Fire Puja, delicious Refreshments/Light Lunch will be available for sale. All proceeds go to support Dorje Chang Institute’s activities and projects. (Cash only, sorry no eftpos.)

We need your help. Consider baking some baked goods or preparing some light lunch (sandwiches, etc.) that we could sell following the Fire Puja. If you plan to support in this way, please note this on your online registration or send us an email with your support. Thank you!
